Energy Return Bicycle
During my quest to find a profitable way to get into bike industry... I ran into yet another odd bicycle design concept. Join the Erbolution. FYI... I pulled the pic off an ebay add. www.erb.com
just demo'd one and they tore it down for me to show me the diff, twice the rigidity and tinsile strength, there are 2 composite rods where the frame meets up instead of a thin plate in the back, much more width, and the return system (spring) provides 20% more energy return, when i rode the demo i usually finish last w my group and i dont know if it was in my mind or what but i tore it up and lead all day, they have a ELITE on ebay for 1495ish with better parts than mine does, i am not going to wait for another large company to buy this erb like i did the slingshot and pay 5x as much for the same thing....just my .02
ray, i just talked with mark for a finalization and am going to be a dealer for the erb, if you want to get one i will get you at a great price and he told me sat. guar. dwanger9758@hotmail.com this bike had me at hello ha ha

This looks a lot like a spin-off from the Slingshot bike

Upon closer inspection of the website, it appears the bike is designed by the same guy who invented the slingshot.
